Just an off-the-wall thought or two:
I wonder if an engine heater (maybe dipstick style?) could be used to 
bring a motor up to temp every month or two to drive out any moisture?

I guess you'd have to circulate dry air through to carry out any 
moisture anyway - or bleed some Nitrogen through the crankcase when 
putting it away for the winter?

fwiw
